I have tried several treatments to reduce fine lines and build a little collegen (IPL's, Exilis, Dermapen, etc) and was excited to try something a bit more serious. It was incredibly painful during the treatment. The recovery was longer and more difficult than I expected. I swelled horribly for 5 days and was beet red. Still, I was excited for the results. When all the swelling died down, there wasn't one ounce of improvement. Nothing, except I got my first age spot on the side of my cheek. I wouldn't go through that again, even if it was free.

it may have been deeper sun damage coming to the surface.
also, results take 3 months to a year to kick in bc it stimulates new collagen

It's been a year and half and really now improvement whatsoever, not in the before and after photos. I have very low expectations on non-surgical procedures, but I've seen huge results from Exilis skin tightening, which is painless, so thought this would help. You're probably right about the deeper sun damage. I've had numerous IPL's, even tattoo removal, and that age spot is here to stay.
